Spring is here and some homeowners may be considering placing their homes on the market. Before you list I thought I’d share some suggestions on adding value to your townhouse.
Bear in mind that much has changed in home decor since Boatworks was developed in 2004. Buyers are aware of the trends, they look at home improvement shows on TV and expect to see some of those updates in the homes they view before making a decision.
Sellers who achieved the highest sold price on their townhouses in 2017 had one thing in common. They updated their houses before listing.
While it is not essential to update every room in the house knowing what updates make sense will go a long way in adding value and getting your townhouse sold quickly.
Firstly, repaint the whole house. Paint makes a big difference in your home’s appearance. Replace the appliances if they are over 7 years old. New counter tops are relatively inexpensive try stone or granite. Refinish the floors, install new carpets if you cannot replace the original floors with wood. Install tile or laminate flooring in the den. Update the master bathroom.
If your budget is limited try washing the walls and paint only those that look shabby. Hire a professional company to clean the carpets. Add new light fixtures throughout the house. Install hardware on the kitchen cabinets. Add a back splash in the kitchen. Replace the refrigerator and the stove if necessary.
